Benefit planned May 22 at Cushing School in Wilton

Music with Carla is planned from 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 22, at the Cushing School, 21 Cusing Drive, in Wilton.

Proceeds will benefit the Western Maine Play Museum.

According to Carla Miller, director of Music with Carla, “This fun- filled music program is designed to engage children ages 8 months through 5 years in singing songs, chants, creating rhythms and reciting rhymes as they move and play with basic rhythmic instruments, scarves, other props. As the children engage in the activities they help build basic music competency in a playful expression of their joy of music-making with the adults who love them,” according to a news release from Miller.

Miller hopes to raise funds to support the opening of the Western Maine Play Museum in Wilton. The museum board has been fundraising for a few years and progress is being made on the facilities and exhibits that will be available.

The museum is closing in on its goal to achieve matching funds to complete the project. When the museum opens it is expected that Music with Carla will be able to hold classes in that location. A suggested donation of $10 per family will support this worthy cause.
